Seat Cowl, will they fit from year to year?

[Goosed Again]

I have a 2000 that is missing its seat cowl, never had one from since I bought it. I think I have a line on one but it's from a 2004. Anybody know if these are interchangeable?

[czakky]

I believe they are interchangable, but I thought I read somewhere the 00-01 fit better. Somebody might know better than me though.

They are same

No they're not actually. The early 1999-2000ish like my bike have a heavy tail assy made of some sort of composite material with internal walls on the side for want of a better explaination where the later versions 2003 and later (maybe) are a light and quite flimsy (more modern style) of ABS and just a single skin on the sides. 

I have both at home, the latter off a Balibio and it looks like it will fit on my 2000 year model spare subframe without any issues.

The later type also uses an additional removable bracket at the rear for the rear mount positions.

Ciao

A difference here in the "tail section" (which definitely changed on the later bikes), and the "seat cowl/ pillion cover?"

 

The early "tail sections" are definitely PA6 (polyamide, a kind of "Nylon", by Acerbis -  like the tank). The early pillion covers are ABS (also by Acerbis) - did they change?

 

Are the later tail sections actually ABS or still PA6?

[Lucky Phil]

The later tail sections are definitely different material from the early units. I havent actually looked on the inside at the material markings but would bet they are ABS or PP.

I also have a later model pillion seat cover and pad and it appears identicle to my early type.

From what I understand the question was if the cowl will fit. The answer is yes it will fit even though it might be made from a different materials.
